About funny baseball player names

Every name in this list is a made-up ballplayer whose first and last name add up to a piece of baseball. Say them out loud: Grant Slamm clears the bases, Lyne Drive finds the gap, Ken O. Corn settles under an easy fly and Noah Hitter takes one into the ninth. None of them is meant to be a real player from any era. The joke is the game itself, never a person.

The puns come from every corner of the ballpark. Batting names cover swings, bunts and home runs (Zack Bunt, Tater Trotman, Swinton Amiss). Pitching names work the mound and the bullpen (Sly Derr, Wilde Pitch, Rhea Leever). There are gloves and baserunners (Webb Gemm, Turner Two, Steele Second), umpires and rain delays (Hugh R. Out, Rayne Delay), the stands and the snack line (Pete Nuts, Frank N. Bunn), and the long season from the minors to the last out (Cal Dupp, Earl D. Series). Some read as a whole sentence, such as Olive Baseball and Anita Hitt.

A last group borrows the old-time habit of putting a nickname in front, as in Three-Pitch Pete Popup and Wild Bill Backstop. Those suit a barnstorming team, a sandlot story or a beer league roster that takes itself lightly.

How to choose funny baseball player names

  • Read the name aloud before you use it. These are sound puns, and several only land when first and last name run together, such as Basil Oaded or Stowe Lenbase.
  • Match the pun to the position. Chester Protector and Shin Gardner belong behind the plate, Chloe Zerr gets the ninth inning and Otto Fielder plays wherever there is grass.
  • Build a lineup on one theme. A batting order of Lee Doffman, Clea Nupp, Penn Chitter and Desi G. Hitter is funnier than any one of them alone.
  • Use the sentence names for fake box scores and party games, where a line like 'Owen Forfour, 4 at-bats, 0 hits' tells the joke by itself.
  • Keep real players out of it. Invented names stay funny after the season ends, and nobody gets mocked.

Frequently asked questions

What are some funny baseball player names?

The best ones are puns on baseball terms: Grant Slamm, Lyne Drive, Doug Out, Ken O. Corn and Noah Hitter. For a pitcher try Sly Derr or Lefty Bullpen, and for a base stealer try Steele Second. All of them are in the list.

Are any of these real baseball players?

No. Every name is invented, and the list leaves out real players on purpose, including the ones whose real names happen to sound funny. If a name matches a real person, that is a coincidence.

Can I use these names for a created player or a team roster?

Yes, they are written for created players, beer league and softball rosters, skits and stories. Many are short, such as Zack Bunt, Ron Deck and Hy Socks. Games apply their own name filters and length limits, so the longer nickname entries may need trimming.

How do I make up my own baseball pun name?

Start with a baseball phrase and listen for a first name inside it. 'Grand slam' gives Grant Slamm, 'turn two' gives Turner Two and 'I need a hit' gives Anita Hitt. Positions, pitches, umpire calls and ballpark food are the richest sources.
